Jeb Bush Writing Book on Immigration

Jeb Bush announced he is writing a book about the immigration crisis in the United States, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

The former Florida governor and brother and son of former American presidents, is penning “Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution,” which is scheduled for publication next spring. It will be co-authored by conservative attorney and activist Clint Bolick.

"Immigration is an important part of our country's success and if policies are reformed, can be part of restoring and sustaining our greatness as a nation," Bush, 59, said in an announcement by the publisher Wednesday, according to the Times.

Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Shuster, is publishing the book.

"Drawing upon history and American ideals, Jeb Bush and Clint Bolick outline a courageous and comprehensive strategy to bridge the partisan divide and set our nation's immigration policy on a just and rational course," Threshold said in a statement.

"The book will present a comprehensive solution based on two core principles: Immigration is vital to America's future, fueling its growth, vibrancy and creativity; yet any true and enduring solution must adhere to the rule of the law."

Bush, who speaks Spanish, is seen as a moderate voice on immigration and was elected twice in a state with a large Hispanic population.
